Be Art Smart: How to Promote Your Art Site

Like many of you out there I have searched and struggled to find ways to bring traffic to my website. Now you may be thinking, "Yes, I want traffic, but I want targeted traffic. I am going to talk about both aspects of traffic you may receive to your website or lens.

There are many key ingredients to making a website a success and you get the results you want. Take a look at the these winning strategies below:

1.  You have to start as the beginning, which is your website. Ask yourself these questions:

a. Does your website tell people what you do on the main page or do they have to search around to figure it out?

If this is the case, you have already lost your audience. I can't tell you how many sites I have been to that I really wasn't sure what they were trying to promote. You only have a few seconds to hook your visitor before they click off to cyberspace, so make the most of them.

b. Did you know that search engines can't read Javascript or Flash?

c. Have you though about SEO, or Search Engine Optimization?

Let's face it, if the search engines can't find it, or once they do, don't find it to be relevant you could end up in the sand box.
